Interesting article, comparing the most expensive assembled XI in the Prem with cheaper equaivalents. Ryan's in there and, I suspect, so would Bojan be if he wasn't injured and off the radar.

No doubt Wenger taught!

Spend 3 years at a club between the ages of 15 - 21 (so effectively the season the player turns 18) and you're classed as homegrown at that club and in that country. It's part of the reason why clubs buy such large numbers of talented foreign youngsters, because if one or two do go on to become even squad players - it takes care of a champions league & premier league home grown quotas.
